Electronic Student File (ESF)

ESF Information:
In building an integrated Electronic Student File (ESF) solution, the University recognizes the value of a common approach to creating and maintaining advising notes. Such a system provides a place to record, share and integrate the advice that various University advising offices provide to undergraduate students during their time at Notre Dame. In place of the separate notes that each office makes and keeps as it works with students, the ESF will provide a tool that facilitates the sharing of a student’s advising history between advising offices working with that student. This tool is expected to help advisors better understand a student’s history at Notre Dame and better integrate past advising or guidance into their own advice to the student. This routine sharing of advising information between offices should enhance a student’s experience with his or her advisors.
